Performing Arts Centers Team Up To Develop New Plays

Minnesota’s Ordway Theatre is joining four other comparable nonprofit performing arts centers in Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Hartford, Connecticut, to form Five Cent Productions “to develop new works of musical theater and breathe new life into the art form. ‘The industry has come to rely on the retread, on the revival. People are tired now of seeing the revivals. I mean, these are great classic works of Americana. But people need to see new things’.”
